I've got a situation where I've got several lines, and I need two different fields out of each of them. To be specific, I have a list of references in a bibliography and I want to get the last name and the year.

Sample input:

Aloise-Young, P.A. (1993). The development of self-presentation. Self-promotion in 6- to 10-year-old children. Social Cognition, 11, 201-222.
Banerjee, R. (2002). Children's understanding of self-presentational behavior: Links with mental-state reasoning and the attribution of embarrassment. Merril-Palmer Quarterly, 48, 378-404.
Bennett, M., & Wellman, H. (1989). The role of second-order belief-understanding and social context in children's self-attribution of social emotions. Social Development, 9, 126-130.

Desired output:

Aloise-Young 1993
Banerjee 2002
Bennett 1989

I can get the last names with cat file | cut -d, -f1

I can get the years with cat file | grep -o "[[:digit:]]\{4\}"

My problem is that now I have two separate outputs and I don't know how to combine them in the way I want. Any ideas? I suspect maybe awk can do what I need, but I'm a bash noob and I don't know awk yet.
